Our world is currently experiencing the forces of
differing perceptions of reality. This
is nothing new, though the magnitude of noise and alarm we hear regarding this
human endeavor may be greater than what we have been used to. The reason for such alarm and surprise on the
part of many is due in part to the lack of awareness of what is happening
outside our much insulated worlds of thought, experience, knowledge,
information and beliefs.

Whether it’s the surprise election of Donald Trump,
Brexit, the rise of populist movements all over the Western World, the
depletion of jobs for many in a Global economy centered on technology, climate
change, ISIS or a changing world order one will react to any of these situations
depending on their awareness of the world.

Let’s consider the definition of awareness as defined by
the Cambridge Dictionary.

Awareness:
knowledge that something exists or understanding of a situation or
subject at the present time based on information or experience.

Now let’s further define and dissect some of the words
and concepts presented in this definition.
We can start with knowledge.
Knowledge: understanding or
information that has been obtained by experience or study and that is either in
a person’s mind or possessed by people generally.

Consider the different scenarios that can affect a
person’s knowledge: Family, community,
education, work, books, media including news and entertainment, religion, personal
experiences, interaction with other people either diversified or limited,
travel, health and financial situation.

Now consider the possible influences or people who might
affect these different scenarios depending on their own perceptions of reality
including teachers, religious leaders, business associates, friends, parents,
media bosses, doctors and celebrities.
And, let’s not forget that each of the influencers may most likely have
an agenda. So, in just acquiring knowledge we can see that an individual acting
simply like a sponge has ample opportunity to acquire skewed or limited
knowledge based on many factors.

Exists is a critical part of the definition of awareness. Exists: To be. To have the ability to be known,recognized or understood. If we experience something through our five senses we typically would say that this object exists. Some would say that if an individual does not experience something in this manner, then the object or idea does not exist. While the object or idea has the ability to be known if the circumstances allow the individual to experience it, should a situation not arise introducing the object to the the person's five senses then for the individual it does not exist. For each of us there is much in our world of physical form which does 'not exist' as we have not experienced it through our five senses.

However, I would suggest that even presented with an
object, our five senses can be fooled based on our beliefs. Consider the term understanding: Something that you have reason to
believe. This definition bases belief on
reason or the ability to think and make judgements, particularly good
judgments. In a world of distractions,
media manipulation, sales pitches, special interests, obscured facts, hyperbole,
incessant desires, fears, responsibilities and opinions basing our beliefs on
good judgement can be a challenge.

As an example, let’s look at climate change which has
encompassed our lives for the past 20 years.
For many climate change is a forgone conclusion based on what they know.
For others it is still a dubious
question. Each side can point to dozens
of scientists who will support either side of the debate; is climate change
real and is it man made. Consider
another argument: What if climate change
was a fabricated reality to divert our attention from something that is taking
place daily and is actually manipulating the weather? Consider that the Arctic ice is melting yet
the East Coast and Mid-west have frigid snow covered weather conditions. In other parts of the country floods are rampant
due to an overabundance of rain, tornadoes and other violent storms cause
damage and dislocation in the South. And, throughout the world changing weather
patterns are causing devastation for whole populations.

Nearly every day in my community the skies are covered
with aerosol sprays of Nano-particles of aluminum, barium and other heavy
metals which we ingest. This is geoengineering
and it has been going on for decades and most heavily for the last 15
years. If you doubt me look at the
pictures below. These
are pictures of the sky above my home taken at different times.

Geoengineering is designed to manipulate the
weather. This technology can change
weather patterns in specific geographic areas.
And it is supported by our government. Congress passed the National
Weather Modification Policy Act in 1976.
These are the departments of our government involved with and supporting
weather modification:

The primary Federal agencies concerned with weather
modification

activities are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce,
Defense

and Interior, plus the Environmental Protection
Agency, the

National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the
National

Science Foundation. The Department of State is also
interested

in the effects on other countries of weather
modification efforts.

Some States also conduct weather modification
programs.

And, weather modification has been going on for some
time. Consider this piece from the
comments section of the Act:

In 1977 the Federal Government will spend about $20
million

compared to $3 million in 1963 -- for such activities
as fog,

cloud and precipitation modification; hail and
lightning suppression;

amelioration of severe storms and hurricanes and other

related activities.

Could it be geoengineering that is causing what in some parts
of the globe is a warming trend and yet in other parts actual cooling? Who benefits from weather manipulation? What kind of control do governments and
private enterprises have over resources, commodities, and agriculture and whole
populations if they can control the weather?
And if they are going to undertake this action in broad daylight how can
they keep the public from rejecting this?
What kind of distractions can they create?

I’ve shown people the lines of aerosol spray in the sky
and the response is typically, “I’ve never noticed these before.” Or, “I rarely look up at the sky.” Or,
“Aren’t those cirrus clouds.” Or, “Our
government wouldn’t do this.” Yes,
people will see a sky full of aerosol spray, lines of aerosol sprayed by jets
flying at high altitudes and because of their belief system totally deny it is
taking place. So, given people’s beliefs
and the fact that they are too distracted to even look at the sky, the
government has been easily able to spray poisons in our skies and can now claim
that this action is being done to “save us from climate change” after two
decades of climate change debate and actions.

This isn’t to say that the reduction or elimination of
fossil fuels to generate the energy we need for our economy isn’t important. The original arguments to eliminate fossil
fuels are still valid today: That they
are pollutants creating toxins for our environment and our health. However, to now suggest CO2 emissions are the
sole cause of climate change may be a red herring. In fact climate change is likely man-made,
but for different reasons and is actually weather modification. Yet, there is no discussion of geoengineering
in major media. Nonetheless it is
causing havoc with our weather, environment and health and needs to stop.

I point this out to illustrate how our awareness can be
limited by what we choose to recognize as reality. Our beliefs which strongly influence
our awareness can often be based on wrong or misleading information. We all have the responsibility and ability to
cut through the distractions and find truth if we ask hard questions, pay
attention to our physical world around us and become fearless in the way we
live and think. We need to recognize
that there is often some truth in in everything we hear and experience, but
that often times it is laced with illusion if not outright falsehoods. Yes, we are experiencing changes in weather
patterns, but they may not be for the reasons we are told through corporate
media and the government. And whether
you believe in climate change or deny it, know that something is going on with
the weather which cannot be ignored. For

Is this a “Call to arms” to organize and fight
geoengineering? It is if you want to and
if you do be sure to educate yourself on the issue. However, my purpose in discussing this issue
is to illustrate what influences our awareness and how a limited awareness can
lead us astray. It also recognizes that our knowledge, experience and
understanding will always be limited in our world of physical form. Our first
step towards greater awareness is to recognize the influences and influencers
in our lives, recognize our world is full of distractions and illusions,
recognize when we are mistaken and correct it, recognize how we create our
realities, recognize others we may disagree with are also faced with the
challenges of awareness and always seek truth by never limiting the possibilities
of any answer.

I’ve talked before about the power we have to create
through our thoughts. If we have enough desire
behind our thoughts our connection with the Universe will manifest these
thoughts into realities in our world. We
need to be aware that while we have this power, our thoughts may be manifesting
illusions and our realities may be based on other than the truth we seek.

The quote from Michael Kellogg at the beginning of this
post makes reference to our inability to perceive the spiritual world. I’ve used the quote and this discussion to
illustrate the challenges we have in perceiving reality in our world of
physical form which is the world we claim is real and the world we should be
most familiar with. Yet, the spiritual
world and our world are connected and if we are to make that connection we
first have to become aware. We can
practice becoming more aware in this lifetime and through this awareness begin
to awaken our spiritual essence. We have
the power to create, we have the power to destroy and we have the power to
change. How we use this power is a
choice we get to make. Be aware of this
power and choose wisely.
